Too Cold for a kilt...not likely

[possingk]

Well while traveling to Buffalo this weekend for thanksgiving, I packed two sets of clothes for each day one for wearing a kilt and one for wearing pants. The weather was supposed to be cold less than 32 for each day, so i didnt' know what it would be like with kilts on. I had heard everyone say I would be fine, but I had lived in Buffalo for 24 years, and I know how cold things are there, so I worried. Everyday I went out kilted with no problems once so ever. Then on Friday we went to the movies and while the movie was going on we got 6 to 7 inches, so I went home to snowblow for my father. here are some pictures:



and



The kilt was a black SWK economy, and I was toasty warm the whole time.

Great pics!!

Just watch where you blow that snow!...don't get none up yer kilt laddie...

Was out walking about town today, was 28 degrees and windy. Wearing my UK blue denim kilt. Walked past a couple firefighters. One said, "I'll bet you're cold." Told him no, was probably warmer than he was in pants, as he well knows, heat rises. He just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Good pics, but that second one may have people wondering if the heat you are feeling is not the devil inside, as evidenced by your glowing eyes!

I hope the wind was blowing the right direction. When it's wrong, it's like you're standing inside your own homemade blizzard. With all of the snow on the front of your kilt, I'm guessing that you experienced some of that action. That'd be a little *too* refreshing.



I have plenty of opportunities to blow snow, but I don't think I'll be trying it kilted.

I love "playing" in the snow while kilted by moving that white stuff around.

People do seem to have a major misconception about the warmth of the kilt, if only they could find out.

Thanks for those great pictures.

I have to totally agree here, I was worried too about cold legs but to my amazment I'm just fine and with more knee showing than I thought I could handle.
Windy days though, I'm yet to work out a system to keep the kilt down, might try some lead fishing weights on the bottom, and yes I'm serious !

Amazing piccies, I love to see all the various ways and conditions in which kilts can be worn in comfort!

I haven't been out in the snow yet (we haven't had any to speak of). Last Wednesday a lady in the office got married at the courthouse and some of us in the office waited outside to give her a send off. The temperature was hovering just above freezing with a bit of a breeze. I found that my legs weren't cold at all and I was comfortable with my jacket open. The only part of me that was cold was my fingers, which was fized by putting my hands in the jacket pockets. I did feel the breeze on my knees, but it wasn't cold.

Of course the ladies were cold, but then they always are!

Hes pulling the wool over our eyes, guys. I've been up there where he is and those pictures had to have been taken in July. In November they don't clear snow...they dig tunnels.

Great Pics!!
